Dear DM community,

We at the Innovating Knowledge project (Huygens Institute, Amsterdam) have just completed the annual update of the project's database of the early medieval manuscripts transmitting the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. This is the third update since the project's official end in August 2021, so we are quite excited that it took place. The current database version (2.3.5) contains detailed information on 507 manuscripts (up from 496).

🔗 database: https://db.innovatingknowledge.nl/ 📊 data (as an .xslx file): https://zenodo.org/records/13827506 ℹ️ more info on the project and its methodology: https://innovatingknowledge.nl/

This version contains not only previously unknown manuscripts, more detail on known manuscripts, and many corrections to the information in older catalogues, but also images of manuscripts that have so far not been digitized (459 images altogether), links to digitized manuscripts (400+ manuscripts), and integrated IIIF viewer to view manuscripts with IIIF manifests directly via the database interface (336 manuscripts).

We hope you will find the database useful and the data reusable. The project is no longer actively funded, so we, unfortunately, can no longer fix the code or make any major technical changes, but if you spot any errors in the data, have information to add that you are willing to share, or know of manuscripts that you think should be included in this survey, let us know.

Best wishes,
